Thats whatthe lady I got the filly from told me this morning. The station was hit by lightening, and caught fire. I guess it took a couple hours to put it out...

Then it is not the same fire I know of. .

The fire that happened nearby us, I found out today, was someone's house. When the power went out, their fan to circulate their woodstove's smoke and heat cut out, and apparently their chimney went up in flames, then burnt down the whole house.

Lost their home...that is awful.

Heather those are some impressive photos. I knew that the fire had got close to you. It is sad that the old school house was lost, but at least your home was saved. And you did not loose any pets/birds either. Very scary.

OK lets start wiff da basics there is a big difference tween BBQing and Grillin. Now for them steaks ( BTW I HIGHLY recommend Chuck Eye). Season to taste, I prefer a little Johnny's and a little Montreal Steak and let them set in the ice box fer a bit. Now heres the portant part. Preheat the grill then turn down low and place the steaks ON THE TOP rack. Cook however well ya like em. For me it is tan on the out and warm in the middle. Or as my grandpappy use to say blow its nose and wipe its nasty (other word for) butt.

Well I hate to burst yer bubble but I really doubt that you are getting TRUE wild fish at the store. It is not legal to keep anything that is not clipped. And why not go local and catch yer own. We have a lot of very nice fish to be had. And STEELHEAD are (IMO) far better than salmon and a lot more fun to catch too.

I have not been ignoring getting pics of our "new" girlz. It is just that they are still getting settled and are still a bit camera shy. One of the OE's we got from Chickielady has decided that she wants to roost about 7' up on a horizontal rope that goes to one of the feeders .

We have a traeger grill and love it. We only buy flatiron steaks any more. They are fantastic. Go to your butcher and they will cut them for you. YUMMMMMM!!!!! I don't think it is possible to over cook them.

Morning all

Very quite morning. I hope the weather is not to bad.


Anyways, a post to keep the Washingtonians thread at the top so Chickie won't need to look far.

Morning all. The time to set eggs for new year's hatch is SO CLOSE.

Clear skies this morning, but looking to a forecast of rain rain rain later on. . .


And I've got 2 Araucanas who are laying now.

My broody Araucana sadly is laying on a bunch of infertile eggs.

I don't think I have. I am so illiterate if it is not hamburger. I always have to as others and that is how I found out about the flatiron steaks. I will ask about Chuck Eye. Thank you. Are these a good griller?

Yes they are very good for grillin. Any other way would just be a waste of a good steak IMO.

After reading "Fast Food Nation" a few years ago, each fall I buy 1/4 cow from a local farmer who takes it to a butcher shop in Snohomish. I don't get to specify what parts of the cow I want, but I can tell the butcher to leave out the nasty stuff which I forgot to do this time. I found a package of oxtail! Yuck!.

I have a lot of top round, bottom round, eye of round, sirloin, top sirloin and some chuck. I did not see any Chuck eye or flatiron but then I don't know what anything is either. I have a bunch of roasts too. I don't like any ribs. I give those to the dogs. Too fatty. The rest is all very lean, no fatty side to turn up in the crockpot. We have a gas grill - I remember meat tasting better when I was a kid and dad grilled it. Maybe it was the charcoal...

Yesterday it rained heavily and was dark as night all day long. Does not look much better today. I wonder when the floods will start and the news will show the obligatory picture of Snoqualmie Falls, and salmon crossing the road (no matter where in the state and what season it is flooding).

I've got a crazy, busy day today and tomorrow, so I won't be on here much. I'll take a break and read to keep up.
